I'm so grateful for the way this group has helped my photography business. I recently rebranded and wanted to share my new website. It feels so much more like me that my previous, super bland side did. Check it out.

👋 Hi folks, I’ve been quietly building something over the past few months: it’s called SenOst.
SenOst is a free AI powered tool that helps detect reputationally harmful language in context before your posts go live on social media. Unlike simple keyword checkers, it understands nuance and intent, which can make all the difference in avoiding unintended backlash.
Think of it like a spellcheck, but instead of spotting typos, SenOst flags language that could harm your reputation or digital footprint.
If you create public content or just care about how your words come across online, it might be genuinely useful.
👉 Try it here: https://www.senost.com
Just sign up, verify your email, and click "Try it now" to test any draft posts.
I’d really value your thoughts:
– Would you use this regularly?
– What works / what doesn’t?
– Anything you wish it did?
Still early days, but I’m hoping this helps people feel more confident and in control of what they post online. Appreciate any feedback!

Hey folks! I’m looking for my next career opportunity in product management.
I have 11+ years of experience. Currently I’m the Director of Product at Idealist.org, a social impact platform serving millions (previous: Planned Parenthood, Graphika). I recently launched Product 101, an online course for aspiring PMs, and I’m currently beta testing Scene Shuffle, an iOS app for writers and creatives.
I’m looking for a company where I can work remotely from the Hudson Valley (or 1-2 days in-office max) and apply my strengths in innovation, data analytics, AI, and team-building.
Let me know if this sparks any points of connection for you!

Looking for a lawyer: my team and I are building an app that requires the movement of money, and we are looking for a lawyer that will grow with us. Initially we plan to push the app in NY but the scope of the app looks like it will be bigger to national and international eventually. We just need to be sure we have legal down to push out a trial version.

Hey @Alfie! I haven't noticed much off-topic chatter in <#C06S63H4LF9|>, and I want to limit the number of channels we add (for the sake of keeping the energy in the Slack concentrated to where the most people can see it), but if it seems like we have an increasing need for a dedicated advice channel, I'll look into adding it. Thanks for flagging!
And in the meantime, I hope people feel free to ask for advice in <#C049BN9LUFN|> or <#C06SF5E9ZC2|> whenever they need it. I'm always so encouraged to see how generous folks are in here with sharing their experience!

Hi friends, I need to buy my first ipad. I'm really only getting it to learn a design software that is only available on ipad so I don't want to splurge on a new fancy one yet. Do you have any tips on buying ipads secondhand and if there are models/features to look out for? I haven't really used them before so a bit clueless.

Product and Go To Market expertise for hire: consulting / advisory / fractional work]
Hi ConnectHV- Anyone here looking for some consulting or part-time work in product or GTM (marketing, partnerships, branding, new market entry)? I have some availability in my client portfolio to help founders, CEOs, CPOs, CTOs, and CMOs with product and GTM strategy. I do a mix of retainer / fractional CPO/CMO work and project-based consulting.
I've recently updated my two-pager to include some case studies on recent work I've done for Aspire (Series C, YC alum focused on startup and SMB banking and payments), Maven Clinic (Series F women's and family telehealth), and a number of seed-stage founders in fintech (a16z, Hillspire portfolio companies).
My consulting work leverages my experience in product, GM, partnerships, and policy leadership roles at companies including Stripe, Intuit, Block (Square/Cash App), Netflix, Wise, and others.
Feel free to DM or email me and we can chat more about your needs! Thanks!

hi all at HV! Can someone recommend a simple Cyber Security Insurance policy for my small SaaS-oriented start-up? We're closing an agreement with a Florida municipality for our racquet sports play programming software, and once of its municipality-wide requirements is that we need Certificate of Cyber Security Insurance, and a policy that lists it as an additional certificate holder, and names that municipality as additionally insured. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Everyone,
I'm a local graphic designer and every year I design the Mid-Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union Community Calendar. I am looking for horizontal local landscape shots of the area. We used to open it up to the public, but since the invention of smart phones, I would get mostly lo-res images that are not print quality. So, I need to get people who know the difference between hi and lo resolution!
I'm opening this up to people here hoping to get some local talent. We pay a stock fee and I have a section where you can advertise your work. If you are interested in submitting work or showing me a link, please let me know. You can also email me at <mailto:[email protected]|[email protected]>. Thanks in advance.
